<div dir="ltr">Hi Razique:<div><br></div><div>The issues I'm thinking about are around setting up a Windows domain inside of running instances. I don't think that's covered by sysprep stuff.</div><div><br></div>
<div>In my case, I've deployed a domain controller inside of my cloud, but when I join other instances to it, the DNS server inside the domain controller doesn't get updated with the name of the new machine.</div>
<div><br></div><div style>My understanding is that DNS entries only get added in the domain controller if the other instances use the domain controller as the DHCP server, since the dynamic DNS update is part of that process. But in OpenStack, the DHCP server is dnsmasq.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>Has anybody run into this issue? What do you use for DNS in this case? Do you use dnsmasq, and point your domain controller to the network controller node? Do you somehow configure dnsmasq to forward the dynamic DNS updates to the domain controller?</div>

How do you deal with DNS? etc.).</div>
